Perl Wisdom

Tue, 5 Jun 2001 11:14:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpeschka - I picked up Learning Perl (LP) when I decided I needed to write scripts that would work across a variety of platforms (Solaris, HP-UX, and Linux). This book has not disappointed me yet.

This book is a fantastically easy read. The...

Mandrake Linux: Easy Linux

Wed, 31 Jan 2001 14:30:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpeschka - I became interested in Linux a few months ago when I had become sick of an unnamed Operating System (OS) and was looking for new opportunities to explore. I began researching the different OSs available, and I became interested in Linux (it will run on...

One Great Ride!

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 12:35:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpeschka - I recently bought a 2000 ZX2 (Hot model with a manual transmission). I picked this car up for a few reasons:

1) I wanted a fast(ish) car while I was still young enough to enjoy it.

2) I have always loved Fords.

3) The price tag.

More Betterness is More Better

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 19:16:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpeschka - No Use For A Name is the best band that I have never heard of!

My friend Bill introduced me to these guys with "Justified Black Eye." I loved the song and the message, so i figured that when I got a free CD from my mother, I...

Ohio Wesleyan University: What a fun place to be!

Tue, 15 Feb 2000 19:55:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpeschka - Ohio Wesleyan has a great staff of English professors. Of course, I am biased in saying this because I am an English major, but hey, that's my job.

Wesleyan's faculty come from a variety of different places and they all have great experience in...

Kittie Puts the Smack Down

Sat, 5 Feb 2000 22:42:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpeschka - This is a truly awesome album! My good friend, and drummer, threw this in the CD player one day and caught me totally unaware. OHMYGOD!!!! I had no idea that this group was out there, I thought that they were some obscure thing that he picked up, but...

Simply Amazing

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 12:42:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpeschka - I initially thought "Oh boy, metallica's final bid for fame before they fade away." But, SWEET MOTHER OF GOD, this is one good album! There is no other way to describe it, except for really really good! The addition of the orchestra to...

Genius work of sci-fi

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 12:29:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpeschka - I love everything that Gibson has written, and every book that he writes is better than the last one. All Tomorrow's Parties has to be my favorite to date.

I love this book because it is real. The characters seem, to me, to be believable, I...

Nectar of the Gods

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 15:07:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpeschka - This could quite possibly be the best beer that I have ever had in my life. Not only does it taste wonderful, but it has a good deal of alcohol in it.

Now, I can't really tell you what is in this beer's flavor, it tastes like a GOOD BEER...

Gran Turismo 2 for PlayStation 1: Fast Cars + No skills = FUN

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 11:40:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpeschka - This is truly a fun game. Never in my life do I actually want to be in an Audi S4 going over 200 miles per hour, but it is still fun to simulate it. Especially because money seems to fall into your lap in this game.

I have to say that this...

Lit Up Like A Light Bulb

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 22:29:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpeschka - I bought this album in early June of 1999, before I had ever even heard "Lit Up" on the radio. I bought it because I needed something to listen to in the car on the way home (having brought along my CD player, and no CDs). There before me at...

Not just for your parents

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 15:31:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpeschka - I am 21 years old. I learned to drive on my parents' 1996 Crown Vic LX. Not exactly the kind of car I expected to be in, but hey, who cares?

Needless to say, I was not too thrilled about driving around in a "grandma car." Man, was...

Nu-Clear Sounds

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 10:47:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpeschka - I have always been a fan of Ash, I bought this album because I love their earlier work.

When I first listened to Nu-Clear Sounds, I was disappointed: it wasn't the Ash of 1977 that I love. It was different, much more complicated, and a bit...
